	Achtung Panzer! - Ferdinand/Elephant
		Ferdinand's design was based on Porsche's Tiger - VK 4501(P) prototype which proved to be prone to mechanical failures and was rejected in favour of Henschel's prototype.
		Ferdinands were assigned to schwere Heeres Panzerjager Abteilung 653 and 654 (each was to be equipped with 45 Ferdinands), in preparation for the Kursk offensive (Unternehmen "Zitadelle") in July of 1943.
		On the first days of action, Ferdinands were disaster due to the technical problems (few were lost because of the fuel line fires), the lack of adequate support and the most important the lack of a self-defense weapon.

	Ferdinand Marcos Biography
		Philippine president Ferdinand Edralin Marcos (1917-1989) began his career in politics with the murder of Julio Nalundasan in 1935, and ended it with the murder of Benigno Aquino, Jr., in 1983.
		Ferdinand Marcos was born in Sarrat, Ilocos North, on September 11, 1917, to Josefa Edralin and Mariano Marcos, both teachers.

		For 200-micrometer wide lasers, the slope efficiency monotonically increases with Wg for pulsed operation, and however, it is maximum at Wg equals 0.8 micrometer (d/$Gamma equals 0.6 micrometer) for CW operation.
		When 200-micrometer wide devices (20%/97% coated) were operated at 2 W and 30 degrees Celsius, the median degradation rate showed a minimal value of 3 $MUL 10$+$MIN@6$/ h$+$MIN@1$/ at Wg equals 0.8 micrometer, which is 7 times smaller than that at Wg equals 0.22 micrometer.
		This is shown by the realization of a laser with chirped superlattice active regions operating at $lambda equals 17 micrometer, well beyond the longest wavelength ($lambda equals 13 micrometer) so far demonstrated for conventional quantum cascade lasers based on inter-subband transitions.

		Ferdinand, Elefant, Panzerjäger Tiger(P) The Ferdinand heavy assault gun was the result of a demand for a vehicle with a turret capable of mounting the 8.8cm KwK L/71 gun for use in Russia.
		Originally intended as an infantry support gun (which Guderian compared to "quail shooting with cannon"), the Ferdinand soon proved its worth in an anti-tank role with its powerful gun capable of knocking out Soviet tanks at great ranges (with reports of distances ranging from 3 to 4.5 kilometres).
		However, the lack of turret traverse and the fact that there was no secondary armament meant that when employed in an offensive role (and especially after becoming separated from infantry), the Ferdinand was an easy target for Soviet anti-tank teams who had been trained to overcome their fear of German tanks.
